Music for an hour and a half

[cschneider0027]

Hi ladies,

Our musician will be working at the venue after our wedding, so we've asked him to come in an hour and a half early so that he can work during our ceremony and cocktail hour. In terms of compensation, what would be appropriate? He told us just to throw out a number but I would hate to insult him -- not to mention I'd hate to offer too much...any ideas? Has anyone done anything similar?

what were you paying him before you requested the additional 1.5 hrs? ......I think it would be reasonable to add another hour's pay......at whatever his rate was for the initial "gig".
